Chapter 1391 Emperor Wu Is Captured, and the Story Begins

As he expected, Zhao Ji's work efficiency was not high. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and he still hadn't found all the people.

He went to the place where pigeons were sold for a few times and made a report, listing a lot of figures from buying pigeons to training, etc., and then handed it to Zhao Ji and asked him to allocate funds.

Zhao Ji felt dizzy when he saw Zhou Chen's report and the bunch of numbers on it.

It's okay to let him order people to kill, but it's really too difficult for him to see these things, but he can't stand it after a while.

He was confident that Zhou Chen would not dare to play tricks on him, so he allocated money to Zhou Chen, but he cut off half of the number reported by Zhou Chen.

"Our Six Paths Hall is short of silver. Although we only have these, I believe you will do a good job and get everything done in the Senluo Hall. I will promote you to be the captain."

Zhou Chen had a bitter look on his face and could only sigh: "Sir, this, well, I will try my best."

Seeing Zhou Chen like this, Zhao Ji felt relieved. He had plenty of money, but he couldn't just give Zhou Chen as much as he wanted. This was not a good way to serve as a subordinate. Cutting half of it would let Zhou Chen know his majesty, and how could he do it? Look at Zhou Chen's ability, he kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that he doesn't know that Zhou Chen's bitter look is all fake. You have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have my wall ladder.

He knew that Zhao Ji would not be able to obediently give him money, but this person maintained his own identity and did not have enough patience to inquire about every detail. In order to ensure confidentiality, he was not willing to let others know, so he did not fool anyone.

Zhao Ji cut off half of the money, but he didn't know that the number calculated by Zhou Chen was four times the real funds. In other words, even if Zhao Ji cut off half of the money, there would still be twice as much.

Well, this is only the first time, so Zhou Chen didn't go too far. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so while Zhao Ji is still alive, he can slowly pick him up.

In the days that followed, Zhou Chen took his time to buy pigeons and find someone to train the pigeons. He spent more time practicing on his own and taking medicinal baths, gradually and rapidly improving his internal strength.

Because he is usually very low-key and rarely comes into contact with other people even in the Six Paths Hall, so not many people know that he has started to rebuild the Senluo Hall.

Zhou Chen was happy to be quiet, but this quietness did not last long. Zhao Ji found him fifty young people under the age of eighteen, both men and women, and most of them were under the age of fifteen. Although he did not ask Origin, but it can also be seen that they are basically from poor families.

After gathering the personnel, Zhou Chen started his own training mode. He had served as both an emperor and an important minister, so it was not difficult for him to train some intelligence personnel.

Zhao Ji said that he would leave everything to Zhou Chen, but every once in a while, he would come to check on the situation. Whether it was training pigeons or people, he was very concerned about it.

Although he is greedy for money, he is also somewhat capable. In the past, he didn't like Ning Yuanzhou and wanted to confront Ning Yuanzhou, so he attacked His Highness Sen Luo.

But if Senluo Temple becomes a sharp blade in his hand, he doesn't need to worry about it. It's too late for him to be happy, so how can he not take it to heart.

In his eyes, the Senluo Temple rebuilt by Zhou Chen was his own strength. He didn't care how Zhou Chen trained and did it, he just wanted to see the results as soon as possible.

Zhou Chen understood Zhao Ji's thoughts, so every time Zhao Ji came over, he would let him see a little hope, and then continue to cheat, and funds flowed out of Zhao Ji's pocket one after another.

Seeing the fruitful Zhao Ji, it seemed as if he saw his own wonderful life in the future, so he didn't feel that the money spent was unfair at all.

Zhou Chen is also very satisfied with Zhao Ji for being so easy to fool. Such a boss is really rare, so he has to provide for him for the time being.

Zhou Chen lived very comfortably in such days, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, because the carrier pigeons have been trained and formed, Zhou Chen has used Zhao Ji's relationship to re-activate some secret strongholds.

When Ning Yuanzhou was the deputy hall leader, he established a total of 108 secret strongholds in various countries and used carrier pigeons to deliver messages. However, most of these people were Ning Yuanzhou's people. Zhao Ji didn't like them at all. When he entered the Senluo Palace, he also abandoned most of the pigeon division of the Beast Road.

Although Zhou Chen worked in Senluodian before, the Pigeon Department belongs to the Animal Path, so he doesn't know as much about the Animal Path as Zhao Ji. Only recently after Zhao Ji gave him power, he slowly mastered it and got Zhao Ji's permission. , started to make contact with the new homing pigeon.

But Zhao Ji was not Ning Yuanzhou, and his control over these secret strongholds was not complete, and many of them were even unwilling to obey his orders to contact them. This also led to Zhou Chen temporarily only contacting some strongholds within Wu Kingdom.

For Zhao Ji, this is enough. He has always been thinking about the business of confiscation of homes, but this kind of thing can only be done within the Wu Kingdom. In other countries, their Six Paths Hall does not have this ability, so Zhou Chen can do this in the country. The secret stronghold was reactivated, and he was already very satisfied.

When Zhou Chen rebuilt the Senluo Hall, he had to lament that Ning Yuanzhou was indeed a talent. He had been in the Six Paths Hall for many years and knew the Six Paths Hall very well, so he was able to build the Senluo Hall and integrate other paths. This was what he did as the deputy hall leader. of.

In contrast, Zhao Ji has been the leader of Liu Daotang for half a year and has made Liu Daotang a mess. That is to say, Zhou Chen has done some serious things for Liu Daotang recently, otherwise Liu Daotang will only get worse and worse.

But if you want to get along well in the officialdom, ability is only a small part. Ning Yuanzhou obviously did not do well in this regard, otherwise Zhang Xiang would not have reported Zhao Ji and suppressed him.

After two months, more than half of the young men who had been trained before had been dispersed by Zhou Chen. Except for Zhou Chen and Zhao Ji, no one knew where they went to hide. The rest were taken to the Human Dao by Zhao Ji, and a few were left in the Senluo Hall. A few people with good martial arts qualifications were sent to the Heaven Dao for training.

Zhou Chen now nominally manages the Senluo Hall, but in fact, the news of the Animal Dao also passes through his hands, because Zhao Ji, as the head of the hall, prefers to enjoy, and Lou Qingqiang is better at fighting and killing. Zhou Chen's recent performance has satisfied Zhao Ji, so the news delivered by the Pigeon Department will now pass through Zhou Chen's hands as soon as possible.

In the Six Dao Hall, in the Yamen of the Hell Dao, a white pigeon suddenly flew from a distance.

Zhou Chen raised his left hand, and the pigeon landed on his left wrist. He took the letter from the pigeon's feet and released the pigeon.

There were few words on the note, but the content was horrifying enough.

After reading it, Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he just sighed: "Is the plot going to start so soon?"

The content of the note was very simple. Specifically, five days ago, Emperor Wu led his army to fight a decisive battle with the Anguo army at Tianmen Pass, and was defeated at Tianmen Pass. The army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated. Emperor Wu's whereabouts were unknown.

He was not surprised at all that the plot was exactly the same as in the plot. If Emperor Wu could win the personal expedition with the nature of play, how bad would Anguo be? But Anguo's army was not bad at all, but was the most powerful among the nine countries. In this way, Emperor Wu's defeat was inevitable.

It has been more than two months since he traveled to this world, and more than three months since Emperor Wu personally set out on the expedition. Zhao Ji has been the head of the Six Paths Hall for more than half a year, so if we calculate the time point, it is still quite consistent.

The plot of One Thought of the Pass begins with Emperor Wu's defeat at Tianmen Pass. When he received this information, the palace or Zhang Xiang and others probably also received the information, which also means that the plot is about to begin.

Zhou Chen asked someone where Zhao Ji went, and found out that Zhao Ji took people to Sun Shiyi's mansion, saying that he had received news that Anguo Zhuyiwei Baique had sneaked into Sun Shiyi's mansion.

"Zhao Ji, you are really..."

The emperor was captured, but the head of the Six Paths Hall, who should have been the king of intelligence in Wuguo, was still blackmailing others at birthday gifts. He was really smart.

Knowing that Sun Shiyi's mansion was the first appearance of the heroine Ren Ruyi in the plot, the Six Paths Hall was also the first victim.

Zhou Chen had no intention of reminding or stopping him. Whether it was Zhao Ji, Lou Qingqiang, or Xu Jun, they were more malicious than kind to him. Zhao Ji, who had the most contact with him, just treated him as a chess piece.

Of course, he also treated Zhao Ji as a chess piece, and even wished that Ren Ruyi would kill Zhao Ji as well.

As for his current identity as a Wu countryman, to be honest, he really didn't have any sense of belonging, not even as strong as the sense of belonging of the Central Plains people.

Zhou Chen waited quietly in the Six Paths Hall, the mansion of the Hell Road. He knew that today's Wudu was destined to be not peaceful. It would not be long before he could leave the Six Paths Hall of Wudu.

"Just..."

He used the internal force in his body. Although he had been practicing crazily for more than two months and spent a lot of resources, the time was still short after all, and he had not even reached the Yangzhou Slow Small Success.

However, Yangzhou Man is a peerless martial art after all. It is even more extraordinary in this low-level martial arts world. Even if Yangzhou Man has not yet reached the minor success, combined with martial arts such as Posuo Step and Xiangyi Taijian, he has the confidence to fight against the top masters in this world.

If he can reach the minor success level, relying on internal strength alone, he will definitely stand at the top of this world. As for the major success, he must be invincible, invincible and unbeatable.

Zhou Chen is not sure whether Lianhua Tower can be regarded as a medium-level martial arts world, but he can be sure that it is definitely much stronger than Yi Nian Guanshan, a low-level martial arts world. The top masters of both sides are simply incomparable, not to mention the top martial arts. The gap is definitely huge.

It was evening, and Zhao Ji's men suddenly came to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, Zhang Xiang and the hall master want to see you, hurry up and follow me."

Zhou Chen did not hesitate, he knew that Zhao Ji must have been severely scolded by Zhang Xiang. It seemed that this guy was really weak. He must have been scared to say that he wanted to rebuild Senluo Hall, otherwise how could Zhang Xiang want to see a nobody like him for no reason.

Although he was going to meet this important minister and prime minister who was second only to the emperor of Wu State, Zhou Chen was not nervous at all. Over the years, it was always others who were afraid when they saw him, and he was not afraid when he saw others.

"Are you Zhou Chen?"

Zhang Xiang was not tall, but standing there, he exuded the aura of a superior, and his serious face was full of majesty.

Zhou Chen bowed and said, "Six Paths Hall, Hell Path, Zhou Chen, I pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

Zhang Song asked in a deep voice, "I heard from Zhao Ji that he is going to rebuild the Senluo Palace. Are you the person in charge?"

"Yes, sir."

"Ning Yuanzhou spent many years to build the Senluo Palace. What ability do you have to rebuild the Senluo Palace?"

Zhang Song's tone was cold. Although he helped Zhao Ji become the leader of the Six Paths Hall, it did not mean that he did not agree with Ning Yuanzhou's abilities. The sudden appearance of Zhou Chen really made him have little confidence, even if Zhou Chen belonged to the Senluo Hall before. One member.

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to answer, Zhao Ji hurriedly explained: "My lord, the official has made an agreement with him. If a better Senluo Palace cannot be rebuilt within a year, he will die to apologize."

"Apologise with death? Oh, in my eyes, your lives are worthless. Okay, since you said that you want to rebuild Senluo Palace, then tell me, where are the people in Senluo Palace? Where are the reports compiled?" Zhang Xiang looked ferocious. roar.

Zhao Ji was so frightened that he was paralyzed: "Sir, we have just started. Those people who did not obey orders have all been dismissed. The new ones are still being trained, but they will take office soon."

"waste!"

Zhang Xiang roared again. He didn't listen to a word of Zhao Ji's words. As for Zhou Chen, he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that Zhao Ji had come out to fool him, so he was even more angry.

Zhao Ji really had no choice. In fact, he and Zhou Chen had made some progress, that is, they planted nails in the residences of many important ministers in the capital, and even planted people in the residence of Prime Minister Zhang. However, his purpose was not pure. I dare not say it at this time.

Zhang Xiang ignored Zhou Chen, grabbed Zhao Ji's neck, and shouted: "As I said just now, bring Ning Yuanzhou to see me within seven days, otherwise I will ask your aunt to sacrifice you during the Qingming Festival next year. ”

Zhao Ji was trembling with fear, his face turned red, and he nodded with difficulty: "Yes, yes."

After Zhang Xiang left, Zhao Jicai slowly came back to his senses. He glanced at Zhou Chen, who had a low eyebrow, with murderous intent in his eyes.

When Zhou Chen saw this embarrassing side of himself, he really had the intention to kill, but in the end he restrained his murderous intention.

"Go away, half a year, I will give you another half year at most. If the Senluo Palace you rebuild is not as good as Ning Yuanzhou's Senluo Palace, I guarantee that you will die without a burial place."

Zhou Chen lowered his head and said nothing, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. Originally, he had no intention of doing anything to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji would soon die at the hands of Ning Yuanzhou anyway.

But now, he has changed his mind. Zhao Ji must be solved by himself.

After returning home, Zhou Chen took out a long wooden box from under his bed and took out a sheathed long sword.

This is a sword he had someone make not long ago. The sword is not very good, but it is enough for killing people.

The sword hadn't drank blood yet, so he had decided to use Zhao Ji's blood to unseal it.
